The Times of India 25.08.2009 PMC appoints S S surveyors to conduct DP surveyTNN 25 August 2009, 01:23am IST PUNE: The civic standing committee on Monday approved the proposal to conduct a survey of roads and reservations in 1987 Development Plan (DP) to facilitate the process of the new DP. However, the committee decided against appointing the lowest bidder, the Monarch surveyors, and instead assigned the task to S S surveyors.
In a proposal before the standing committee, the municipal administration has stated that Monarch surveyors and contractors have submitted lowest tender for conducting survey and it was recommended that they should be allowed to conduct survey at the cost of Rs 2 crore. "However, the committee decided not to give this work to Monarch considering the past experience the PMC had with this agency. Instead, we have appointed the second lowest bidder, S S Surveyors, for the work," said standing committee chairman Nilesh Nikam, while talking to reporters.
"The survey will be conducted by establishing ground control points using total station with reference to primary Global Positioning System (GPS) control points. The survey will be conducted in old Pune city limits in sector 1-6. Carrying out detail survey using total station along the road with upto 10 metre buffer area on both sides of road or up to the end of adjoining property to the road whichever is maximum. This include collecting all natural and artificial features of areas like temporary, permanent structures, compound wall, buildings, fencing and all utilities such as electric lines, manholes, chambers, valves, telephone lines, footpaths signals. The same criteria will be applied for the river side as well," states the proposal approved by the standing committee on Monday.

The Economic Times 19.08.2009 NDMC areas now on 3D GIS map NEW DELHI: New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has completed GIS mapping of its entire area to effectively provide tourist information along with information on who all have paid property tax and if any household is carrying out unauthorized construction, etc.
The 3D-GIS mapping will also be used to keep tabs on public utility services like roads, streetlights, sanctioning of building plans, etc by simply zooming in on a particular area.
It will even be used to enhance the green cover as information on species of trees planted, their lifespan etc will also be made available using the system. Each tree or potted plant will be numbered by the civic body and if a tree is uprooted during a storm, NDMC will be able to act immediately and take remedial measures.
‘‘A 3D-satellite imagery of the NDMC area has been taken on a GIS platform. When we zoom out, tourist information will be provided, but as we begin to zoom in, we will get information about the green areas in a colony, about status of sanctioning of building plans of properties, unauthorised construction, cameras will also be installed for this purpose, and whether a particular property has paid property tax or not etc,’’ said an NDMC official. This will also help the civic body in increasing its property tax collections.
The L-G’s office has been given a presentation of the functioning of the 3D-GIS system. NDMC has been working on this project since the last two years and the entire project is expected to be completed in six month’s time.
The GIS system will be used for improving various civic services provided by NDMC by mapping every pipeline, electricity line etc in the area. Said an NDMC official: ‘‘If there is a power failure, NDMC will be able to identify the problem immediately using the system.
Moreover, we will be able to get the information on when a road was made, the last time it was repaired, the contractor who carried out the job and the cost of the entire process. A general survey is being conducted to gather such information on all our public utility services. The present cost incurred by us is Rs 50 lakh.’’
NDMC is planning to make the 3D-GIS system partly accessible to the public so that complaints registered by people will also be shown on the system with red and green lights (red signifying complaints that need to be looked into and green showing those complaints that have been addressed). The civic body has appointed a consultant for this project.
‘‘By the end of this project, we will get information on every asset such as sub-stations, transformers, signages, manholes, trees etc owned by us. We will be able to do better asset management,’’ added the official.
